Chapter 21 Tough

When Chu Xiu returned to the Chu family, the whole Chu family was already in chaos.

Chu Shang was lying on the stretcher crying in pain, while the third lady was crying loudly on Chu Shang's body.

The eldest brother Chu Kai and the eldest lady gloated, while the third child and the second wife were pretending to comfort her, but the acting was a little bit clumsy, and even Chu Xiu couldn't stand it anymore.

Chu Zongguang sat on the main seat, his expression was gloomy, and his anger was like a volcano, which could erupt at any time.

As for the other elders of the Chu family, they have never been in charge of their affairs, especially now that the Patriarch's own son is involved, it is even more difficult for them to speak up.

Liu Youcheng, the former steward of the caravan, knelt in the center, and tremblingly told everyone what had happened in detail. The more he talked, the more gloomy Chu Zongguang's expression became.

At this time, a doctor also came in, he just glanced at it, then shook his head and said: "Patriarch Chu, your son's limbs are broken, and if you pick them up in time, you can still walk, but now several days have passed, and it has been completely broken. It's abolished, and I'm afraid I can only stay in bed for the rest of my life."

Hearing this, the third lady cried even harder.

Seeing this messy scene, Chu Xiu didn't say anything, just sat aside, took a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

Seeing Chu Xiu's leisurely appearance, the youngest Chu Sheng suddenly said: "Second brother, the fourth brother has already been injured in such a state, do you still have the mind to drink tea here? Are you happy that the fourth brother is deposed?" ?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Chu Xiu, even Chu Zongguang looked at Chu Xiu with a bit of unkindness.

He is very angry now, Chu Xiu can't say a word well, but it is easy to become the target of his anger.

Chu Xiu snorted coldly, put down the teacup heavily, and said coldly, "I'm happy? I'm almost crying right now!

The fourth brother is useless, I cry twice like you, can the fourth brother be healed?

Before I left, I told my fourth brother to be more careful, but something like this happened.

The fourth brother is young and inexperienced, and his subordinates don't know how to dissuade them. If they were not all dead this time, I would kill them again! "

Chu Xiu came out, bowed to Chu Zongguang, and said in a deep voice: "Father, this is not the time to cry. If this matter is not handled well, it will not only be the fourth brother who will cry there, but our Chu family will cry." Let's cry together!

Those bandits abolished the fourth brother and robbed my Chu family of goods. The two sides have already formed a big enmity, but should we fight or not?

If we fight, then we have to investigate the location of the other party's stronghold and the strength of the other party. After all, the leader of the bandit has the strength to easily kill Lin Qian.

And if we don't fight, will our Chu family's caravan be robbed next time they enter Shangmang Mountain? I won't say much about who is right and who is wrong in this matter. Anyway, this matter will not end. In the future, our Chu family will not go to Shangmang Mountain, but just take a detour to the official road. All of this is now up to Father You decide! "

Chu Xiu was the first to speak out, and his momentum was so calm that he stunned everyone present.

With these words, the faces of all the people present changed a little, and even Chu Sheng didn't care about crying pretendingly there.

This matter is definitely a big deal for the current Chu family. If they fight, does their Chu family have this ability now?

Of course Chu Zongguang was angry when his favorite son was abolished, but after all, his life was still alive, so he didn't go crazy.

He hasn't taken care of the Chu family for more than 20 years. Apart from him, there are very few fighters in the Chu family who can really fight. Compared with those bandits whose number is hundreds or even thousands, it is simply impossible. no advantage.

The most important thing is the strength of the bandit leader.

With the eyesight of Liu Youcheng and others, they couldn't tell whether the bandit who killed Lin Qian had blood coagulation or innateness in his hand, but listening to his description of the result of the battle, the opponent was probably innate realm, and that kind of strength could almost It was crushed.

As a result, if he fought hard, he would not be sure of winning.

And the rest of Chu Kai, Chu Sheng, and the elders of the Chu family thought the same thing.

The Chu family is not only Chu Zongguang's Chu family, but also their Chu family.

Just to avenge Chu Shang, they took the entire Chu family to fight those bandits, which was obviously not what they wanted to see.

Chu Xiu stepped aside, with a look of mockery in his eyes.

As far as the virtues of the Chu family are concerned, it is really not easy to persist until now. Everyone is considering their own interests, and no one will consider for the Chu family as a whole. Even now Chu Xiu has a feeling that even His father was like this, and he was also thinking about his own interests, as if he didn't care much about the Chu family.

Chu Kai coughed and said, "Father, it's better to discuss this matter in the long run. Those bandits have been entrenched in Shangmang Mountain for so many years. Even the officers and soldiers can't do anything about it. Even the most powerful Shen family in Tongzhou Prefecture can't help it." They all acquiesce in their existence, and it would be unwise for us to do it at this time."

Chu Sheng also said from the side: "Brother is right, we must be cautious about this matter, besides, this matter is also reckless of the fourth brother, no matter how greedy those bandits are, they are only greedy for two hundred taels of silver. They are, how could they get into such a big trouble like now, and even caused the death of a master of blood coagulation level in my Chu family."

After these two people finished speaking, the elders of the other Chu family also agreed one after another, persuading Chu Zongguang to calm down.

Although they are all old and will not live for a few years, some of their nephews still work as stewards in the Chu family.

They don't care about the Chu family's young masters fighting for power and profit, but once the interests of the entire Chu family are involved, they can't ignore it.

At this time, the third lady lying on Chu Shang's body saw the changes in the crowd, she couldn't help crying: "Master, you have to make the decision for Shang'er!"

Chu Zongguang frowned and said, "Shut up! Do you think I don't want to take revenge for Shang'er? But for one Shang'er, can I bet the entire Chu family?

The same goes for Shang'er, before I left, I told him to be more careful, but in the end he was still so reckless and caused such a big trouble! "

After being yelled at by Chu Zongguang, the third lady was completely afraid to speak.

Chu's injury has been crippled, and she has no hope in the Chu family in the future. If she offends Chu Zongguang again, she may be kicked out of the Chu family directly.

At this time, an elder of the Chu family suddenly coughed and said: "Patriarch, it is really unwise for our Chu family to take revenge on Shangmang Mountain at this time.

But people have to bow their heads under the eaves. As long as our Chu family's caravan wants to continue to travel in Shangmang Mountain, this matter must have a result, otherwise the caravan is robbed again, and my Chu family cannot accept it. "

The person who spoke was Chu Xiu's great-uncle, who was also the oldest among those elders. He was over 80 years old and usually didn't care about things, but this matter involved too much, and he was afraid that Chu Zongguang would be too Impulsive, that's when I opened my mouth.

Chu Zongguang also took the opportunity to get off the donkey, nodded and said: "Uncle said, let the bandits go for a while, and solve them once when they find an opportunity, but who should lead the caravan next time?"

All the people present looked at each other in blank dismay, those bandits abolished Chu Shang without hesitation, proving that they didn't take the Chu family seriously at all, who would dare to go there again? Aren't you afraid of being hacked by that bandit?

At this time, the great uncle looked at Chu Xiu, with a kind smile on his face and said: "Chu Xiu, among the brothers, you are the one who is bold and careful, and has the strongest ability. You did a good job when you were in business last time. You didn’t lose the face of my Chu family, and brought benefits to the caravan, why don’t you go again this time.”

Chu Kai and the others showed a complex look on their faces.

It's very simple to see who is capable. If something happens to the family, the first person everyone will go to. Obviously, whoever is in everyone's heart has the most weight.

Now that the uncle opened his mouth, he obviously thought that Chu Xiu's abilities were better than all of them.

Of course, they didn't compete with Chu Xiu for this limelight. They wouldn't do such a dangerous thing for nothing.

Chu Xiu didn't agree, but just sneered in his heart.

This old guy has a good idea. When it's his turn to have a dangerous mission, he will become a young hero of the Chu family? Chu Xiu remembered clearly that when the family was discussing matters, none of these elders even looked him in the eye.

Chu Zongguang also coughed and said, "Chu Xiu, since uncle has said so, then let you go."

Chu Xiu still didn't agree, he just stood up and said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask my lord father, do my Chu family still have rules?"

Chu Zongguang frowned and said, "What's this called? Of course."

Chu Xiu said lightly: "Since there are rules, things can't be done like this!

The caravan is managed by me, and the income is doubled in my hands. My father said that he wanted to train the fourth brother, yes, but I gave the caravan to the fourth brother without saying a word.

The results of it? Chu Shang messed up the matter, but asked me to wipe his ass, who is responsible for this? And who does this caravan belong to in the end?

If things continue in such a muddle-headed manner, then my lord father, the child will not accept it! "

When Chu Xiu said the last sentence, everyone present was stunned.

Although Chu Zongguang didn't take much care of the Chu family's affairs these years, his prestige within the Chu family has not slipped much. After all, his strength lies here.

Chu Xiu can be said to be the first person who dared to disobey Chu Zongguang's order in so many years, and this person is also his own son.
